Gwyneth Paltrow admits playing matchmaker for Gyllenhaal, Swift

Gwyneth Paltrow has confirmed she played a part in Jake Gyllenhaal’s romance with Taylor Swift, revealing she and her husband Chris Martin helped bring the couple together.

Swift was first linked to the Brokeback Mountain hunk back in October, and last month they were pictured spending the Thanksgiving holiday together.

They have yet to confirm the romance, but Gyllenhaal’s pal Paltrow has now revealed the lovers met through her rocker husband.

She tells USA Today, “I’ve just known Jake for a long time and he’s a great guy, and Chris has a friendship with Taylor …”

And when asked about a rumor the pair met over dinner at Paltrow’s home, she replies, “Well I’m scared to say. It’s so weird. I wonder how people find out these things. It was a while ago, so I don’t know why it would come out today.”
